Diabetes is a metabolic disorder. The measurement of energy expenditure and food consumed (energy balance) are critical components in evaluating the effectiveness of treatments as well as gaining insight into the changes in metabolic pathways due to diabetes.

Important System Considerations

  • Metabolic measurement capability (RER, VO2, VCO2)
  • Specific nutrient utilization
  • Food and water intake with automated access control; paired or yoked feeding capacity
  • Activity monitoring
